Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of The Christ” makes its debut this time 20 years ago and the overwhelming response was that people were overwhelmed!
And that is just one story in what was a massive week!
The United Nations came clean saying they could not find any evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. UN weapon inspector David Kay simply said “We were almost all wrong”, which sent the media into a frenzy.
We also had Russians on ice with the dramatic rescue of 12 scientists trapped in the arctic circle doing what they claimed was, errr, research, yes research on climate change.
Martha Stewart was charged for insider trading while Britney Spears launched her Onyx Hotel tour.
We had new albums from The Living End, singles from Guy Sebastian and we got to put Chingy to the test with “will it nursery rhyme” as “One Call Away” entered the US Billboard charts.
And just when you thought that was all we had the 76th Annual Academy Awards with all the Oscars going to The Lord of The Rings! Pimp my Ride made its debut on MTV. John Grisham’s “The Last Juror” became the latest book we didn’t read to top the NY Times bestseller list.
And somewhere, somehow Peter Andre’s “Mysterious Girl” found its way back to the top of the UK singles chart…
We’re exhausted just thinking about it!
